Check ur connections, it might be loose. If it's not that, if u have a volt meter, see if ur voltmeter fluctuates. Is there anything that causes it? EG: hard acclerations, ur sound system too lound? Could be ur battery starting to die. Check that u have enough battery water too.

Cheers!

If you're using a H4, as ben said, it's already inside? But i don't see how. If you bought it from ben, and he didn't give u a set, then i think u should ask him for 1. If u bought ur kit from someone else and ur kit didn't come with a relay, then i guess u can make do without it. Different specifications.

ABout that flickering and stuff. You know the back of the ballast bracket how there's a bolt that goes through to hold it to the ballast box, well if that bolt touches metal surfaces will it short, could that be the prob?

Yeah that could very well be the prob! Imagine, if ur car is bumpy and ur ballast is jumping up and down, it occassionally touches the ground, and u get ur flickering. try padding it wit something, and try to secure ur ballast properly so that it dosen't shake/vibrate that much. =)

P/s: Pulp, have you found out the problem with the flickering ?

Oh sorry I was only asking in regards to the other guy who had the flickering problems ;) Thought that may have been something to look at. Man I haven't had a chance to install mine yet! Going to make up a bracket for the ballast boxes.

Oh okies... haha i'm gonna get mine installed tomorrow after my exams, problem is, i don't have a drill. :( So i've gotta go to some workshop to borrow their drill and drill the f**k out of my caps. :lol:

Dude, just head to WA salvage. I got my drill for $12.99 ages ago, and a box of about 20 drill bits for $4. They work fine on plastic, everything else and the drill bits arent that good, but for that money, cant complain

Got my hid installed, took 2 hrs, and am quite happy!! The only problem is... My lens is too dirty/oxidised!! The inside not the outside... and now my parkers really look oxidised. FUG. Back to the ol drawing board.

About the flickering that was happening the other night. I've checked all the connections and its all fine and I used cable ties to hold almost everything in place, so I don't think there's any short circuiting.. I then checked the battery water and noticed that it was very low - so I think it's that. Just topped up the water tonight

It only happened during one trip a few nights ago when the car was idle and when I was slowing down. Since then haven't come across it doing the same thing.. so hopefully it was just the water level in the battery. But will see how it goes now..

thanks everyone for trying to help :D

    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be?
